First look:

MSM retracts fake news story claiming FBI briefed Giuliani
MSNBC host says Tim Scott is a "clown" thirsty for "white approval"
Cash is still king -- it even beats "follow the science" on COVID rules
Biden admin set to block travel from India -- isn't that racist?

MSM forced to retract fake story about FBI briefing Rudy Giuliani

Headline: NYT, Washington Post, NBC Retract Incorrect Reporting On Giuliani's Contact With FBI

The First take: In Texas we call this "closing the barn door after the horse is out." Front page stories from several liberal media outlets that can only be seen as very damaging to the reputation of Rudy Giuliani have been retracted because they were suffering from a massive truth deficit.

MSNBC host calls Tim Scott a "clown" thirsty for "white approval"

Headline: MSNBC Host’s Attempt At Debunking Tim Scott’s Rebuttal Speech Included Calling Him A ‘Clown’ That’s ‘Thirsty For White Approval’

The First take: Apparently MSNBC has paused the use of facts while making an argument against someone or something they disagree with. Instead, the liberal cable news outlet is resorting to name calling and racial stereotyping. Sad.

Teachers unions' cash trumps "follow the science" on COVID-19

Headline: 'Follow The Science' Fallacy Exposed - Teachers Union Exerted Influence Over CDC School Reopening Guidelines

The First take: When it came to all things lockdown related, President Biden, the media, Dr. Fauci and the CDC have been hammering us with the phrase "follow the science" for over a year now. If they had only told us the rules... political contributions can actually shape what "science" is telling us to do. We suspected this was the case and now we know it. (We also hate it when our hunches are right.)

GET THE STORY

We thought "travel bans" were racist

Headline: Just IN: Biden White House to Impose TRAVEL BAN from India to Slow the Spread of COVID-19 Variants

The First take: Sooooooo, in late April of 2020, when Donald Trump blocked travelers from China and the region where the COVID-19 outbreak began, he was called a racist and xenophobe by Democrats like Joe Biden and Nancy Pelosi as well as many liberal media outlets. Fast-forward a year and the Biden administration's expected ban on travel from COVID-plagued India is just fine.
